Operation

Crimson Trace laser sights with Instinctive Activation™ are activated by one or two strategically located pressure pad(s). With a normal shooting grip, your hand will naturally depress the activation pad whether shooting right or left-handed. Many products feature a master ON/OFF switch that is also provided to turn the laser off. The laser should be left in the 'ON' position under most circumstances. Leaving the master switch "ON" will NOT decrease battery life. Crimson Trace products with Instant Activation™ - including Rail Master® and Rail Master® Pro™ - feature ambidextrous control levers that initiate activation and mode changes. See our selection of installation and operation videos below for complete step-by-step instructions.

While Crimson Trace laser sights are precision engineered to fit specific firearm models, they are also extremely simple to install. We call them "user-installed" because every product we manufacture can be installed by you -- the owner. You will not have to make any permanent alterations to your firearm to install and operate Crimson Trace lasers*. Take your time, follow the instructions enclosed with your new laser, and in a short amount of time, your gun will be laser-equipped. For detailed step-by-step instructions, please see our installation videos below.

*Owners of 1911 Pistols with ambidextrous safeties must have the right side of their external safety shortened or replace with a standard safety for clearance with 1911 Lasergrips® - except Master Series™ models, which will clear ambi-safeties. Please consult a gunsmith.
